AGENDA SECTION:

REGULAR AGENDA

BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:

In 2014, the County decided to construct a well at Veterans Memorial Park for the purposes of irrigating the sports field .  The park is served by City of Hollister water and they were intending to begin seeking payment for the water used at the park.  A well was dug and a pump was installed, but the existing irrigation lines weren't able to handle the pressure and frequently blew out.  In 2015, a consultant was hired to analyze the entire system and design a solution.  After much research and analysis, the consultant completed a design last year.  The project was bid in December and bids were due January 25, 2017.  Only one bid was received.

The one bid is for $260,140, and the consultant contract awarded last year is for $38,050.  That means design and construction activities will cost $298,190, just under the total project budget of $300,000.  There would be no funds remaining for potential change orders without additional funding allocation.  Also, staff time to date billed to the project will need to be backed out without additional funding.
